Equipment
- Skillet
- Kitchen knife
- Small mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Black Beans reserve some of the water
- 2 handfuls Chopped Kale
- 2 medium Eggs
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/2 medium Onion
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Could use Mexican blend or Monterey Jack
- 1 small Tomato
- 2 tsp Chopped Onion
- 1 tsp Chopped Jalapeno
- 2 tsp Chopped Green Pepper
- 2 sprigs Fresh Cilantro
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
- Optional: Quick Queso Cheese Sautee a bit of garlic in olive oil, add in heavy cream and cheese of your choice, and cook on low until thickened.
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine chopped onion, garlic, tomato, jalapeno, green pepper, cilantro, olive oil, salt and pepper to create a quick pico de gallo. Set aside to let flavors meld.
- In skillet, heat olive oil and add in chopped onions, cooking until translucent. Add in minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook until garlic is fragrant.
- Add chopped kale and stir well. When kale is about half cooked, add in black beans (to create a little liquid for the kale to cook down, add a few tsps of the black bean juice). When all is cooked, set aside in a bowl.
- In now empty skillet, scramble your eggs and set aside with the beans/kale mixture.
- Keeping heat on low, sprinkle cheese on the pan in the shape of a tortilla, making sure to create a solid surface with minimal holes. Cook until cheese is completely melted and the spatula is able to lift up the edges.
- Flip to brown the other side. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to absorb the grease. Repeat to create another 'tortilla'.
- Once your tortillas are made, assemble each by dividing egg and bean/kale mixture, and roll as you would a tortilla. Top with some of your fresh pico de gallo and a drizzle of queso and enjoy!Great served with more fresh cilantro and can easily substitute the cheese for a spoonful of sour cream. This would also be great with a few slices of fresh avocado!
